SO FAR SO GOOD

Life is quite a lot of things to different people. To some, life is unfair, a teacher, fun, sweet and what have you. For me, I have experienced a lot of things that life can be and for what it’s worth, I’ll say life is just what we want to make of it. As humans, one valuable asset we have is time and depending on how well we use our time, we might see the different faces of life. Over time, we have come to understand the importance of time management because time will always be available but as humans, we are the ones that run out of time, hence the need for us to master different ways and techniques to use our time wisely.

Before the year started, some of us had already given up on achieving the goals we had the previous year and started working towards the goals for the new year. We weren’t sure about achieving those goals or plans that year but we were determined to make it happen in the coming year. We drew out our plans and when the new year came, we started working with those plans towards achieving a better result this year. Interestingly, it is already the second quarter of the year, 2025 and the Hivelearners topic is asking us to share how far we have gone with our plans since the year started.

If there is one thing I’m trying to master when it comes to setting goals, it is for me to set SMART goals. Avoiding the temptation that comes with setting goals that will overwhelm me later on and I will start feeling like a failure. I enjoy setting little goals and achieve something huge at the end of the year than set goals that are huge and achieve little or nothing at the end of the year. In terms of my academic, my goal is to not just read to pass my exams but to study to understand what my course is about and while I’m at it, I’ll do really well in my exams too.

For my personal goals, I plan to read books. Self help books to help me grow in different areas of my life. I also plan to study the Bible too. So far, I have been doing really poorly in these aspects of my life and I have had to adjust my plans so many times. My plan was to read at most 12 books before the year ends but from the look of things, I might not be able to achieve reading 12 books but I’m more concerned about reading books than not reading at all unlike the previous year. And for studying my books and Bible, I haven’t been consistent at all with studying daily and if I’d be honest, I’m a bit worried about that but rather than giving myself to worry, I’m just going to keep trying to do better.

I remember I didn’t set any goals for my health and that is because I know I won’t keep up but, I promised myself to eat better this year, as much as I can which has been going a little bit better than last year. And I really hope it gets better. In my relationship with people, I also have the goals of being more accommodating and open. Well, I still shut myself out every now and then so there is little or no improvement but I’m not going to give up. And finally, my hive goals. My goals for Hive this year are quite simple but I’m still struggling in some ways but overall, it has been really fun and unexpectedly successful.

I had plans of growing my Hive power, replying to comments, commenting on different posts and most of all, I have plans of making posts daily for the whole of this year which happens to be one of the best ways to achieve most of my goals. So far, it has been a huge success and some unexpected surprises here and there making my goals more and more achievable. There has been so many unexpected things happening but most of them are in a good way, helping me achieve my goals faster and better. I want to specially thank my Friendy for his support and encouragement. He is playing a major part in all of these and it’s evident that he is God’s sent to me to make my life seamless and I’m grateful.

Thank you for reading through. ❤️
